Intergalactic Wandering Stars in the Local Universe: Theoretical Predictions for Their Distance and Luminosity Distribution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Intergalactic wandering stars (IWSs) within 10 Mpc remain a poorly explored area of astronomy. Such stars, if they exist, are supposed to be wandering objects as they are not bound by the gravitational potential of any galaxy.

Star formation in the large Magellanic cloud [PDF]

open access: yes
What role the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a dwarf irregular galaxy, plays in understanding infrared luminous galaxies is discussed. There are two main reasons the LMC may prove helpful.

A Search for 6.7 GHz Methanol Masers in M33

open access: yes, 2007
We report the negative results from a search for 6.7 GHz methanol masers in the nearby spiral galaxy M33. We observed 14 GMCs in the central 4 kpc of the Galaxy, and found 3 sigma upper limits to the flux density of ~9 mJy in spectral channels having a ...

On the Corotation of Milky Way Satellites: LMC-mass Satellites Induce Apparent Motions in Outer Halo Tracers

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Understanding the physical mechanism behind the formation of a corotating thin plane of satellite galaxies, like the one observed around the Milky Way (MW), has been challenging.

The Milky Way’s Rowdy Neighbors: The Effects of the Large Magellanic Cloud and Sagittarius Dwarf on the Milky Way Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The Milky Way (MW) is a barred spiral galaxy shaped by tidal interactions with its satellites. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (Sgr) are the dominant influences at the present day. This paper presents a suite of four 10 ^

The size of the Milky Way galaxy

open access: yes
The size of a galaxy is one of the fundamental parameters that reflects its growth and assembly history. Traditionally, the size of the Milky Way has been characterized by the scale length of the disk, based on the assumption of an exponential density profile. Earlier scale length measurements suggest the Milky Way is an overly compact galaxy, compared

ON THE FORMATION OF THE DISK OF SATELLITES OF THE MILKY WAY: SIMULATION OF THE COLLISION OF TWO GALAXIES

open access: yesMomento, 2014
At present there is some evidence showing that the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way might be distributed on a disc structure, known as the disc of satellites.
